Felsted School’s most talented Year 11 Mathematicians, who were put forward for their Maths IGCSE exam early in January, have been rewarded for their efforts. All 13 top set students gained a clear A* grade, with Leo Wang, a full boarding pupil from China, scoring full marks on the second paper. Another two students, Matthew Hudson-Lund and Silas Turner Jones, both contemporary boarders, scored 99% on the first paper.

This is a huge achievement for the class, who took the exam five months earlier than their peers. They will now go on to take the demanding Additional Maths qualification in the summer.
Maths at Felsted is thriving with 98% of the cohort last summer achieving an A*- C grade and some 90 students studying it in the Sixth Form, either at A Level or as part of the International Baccalaureate Diploma.
The results were excellent again this year and we’re thrilled for all the students who have worked very hard to achieve their A*. The vast majority of the class will go on to study Maths here in the Sixth Form and we look forward to seeing them continue to develop as Mathematicians over the next few years.
Mr Michael Campbell, Head of Maths at Felsted.
Every year, a generous ‘Wallis Scholarship’ is awarded to a Sixth Form pupil (current or new) excelling in Maths, in recognition of former Felstedian, John Wallis (1616–1703), most famous for introducing the symbol for infinity.
Applications are now open for 2018 entry
